Disable keyboard when

When the user clicks on a UITextField I am showing a UIDatePicker for the input with the code below. But when i do this the datepicker and the normal text keyboard show at the same time. How would i disable the keyboard from displaying? 

- (IBAction)selectDateBegin:(id)sender {

if ([self.view viewWithTag:9]) {
    return;
}
CGRect toolbarTargetFrame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height-216-44, 320, 44);
CGRect datePickerTargetFrame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height-216, 320, 216);

UIView *darkView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
darkView.alpha = 0;
darkView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
darkView.tag = 9;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(dismissDatePicker:)] ;
[darkView addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
[self.view addSubview:darkView];

UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height+44, 320, 216)] ;
datePicker.tag = 10;
[datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(changeDate:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.view addSubview:datePicker];

UIToolbar *toolBar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height, 320, 44)];
toolBar.tag = 11;
toolBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(dismissDatePicker:)];
[toolBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:spacer, doneButton, nil]];
[self.view addSubview:toolBar];

[UIView beginAnimations:@"MoveIn" context:nil];
toolBar.frame = toolbarTargetFrame;
datePicker.frame = datePickerTargetFrame;
darkView.alpha = 0.5;
[UIView commitAnimations];}

Create a separate UIView for your datepicker (with navigation bar having OK and Cancel button) container and then assign it to textfield.inputView property. For more details refer UITextField Class Reference.

This will load your datepicker view instead of default keyboard.

You will find many more examples on net for the same.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
     [self.textFieldName resignFirstResponder];
   //
   //  Code ...continue,......for display DatePicker
